Transmission and suspension all clean and appropriately lubed before every ride!! The rest depends.
I like to see my bike nice and clean, but it never lasts long. If I can get away with a dry brush over the frame and wheels then that's what it gets. Otherwise its a full-on wash and brush up.

I wash mine after every ride in the winter, but when it’s dry and dusty I just scrub the crap from the drivetrain and lube the chain at the end of of each ride.

Like others, I clean mine after every ride. I enjoy cleaning and fussing with it. I do the same with my truck (no I don't wash it after every drive). An often overlooked benefit of regular cleaning is you find potential problems or issues before they become serious.

Ah, but what lube do you use for your suspension? ?

I use any wet lube. Currently I use MucOff wet lube because it has a nice long nozzle that makes it easier to use, and I don't like it on my drive train, so I'm using it up. Definitely NOT dry lube. Dry lube has solvents in it that you don't want anywhere near your suspension components.
